Lyrics
/: He's able (3 ggr)
I know that He can do it
He said He'd help me through it :/
Hold on my brother, your change is gonna come
Be strong my sister, for your work is not done, no
Just keep on believing and hold on tight
He's able to give you joy and the morning-light
He's able (3 ggr)
I know that He can do it
He said He'd help me through it
- Hold on my brother, your change is gonna come
Be strong my sister, for your work is not done
Keep on believing and hold on tight
He's able to give you joy and the morning-light
He's able (3 ggr)
I know that He can do it
He said He'd help me through it
He's able, oh yes, He is
He's able, oh yes, He is
He can do it, oh yes, He can
He can do it, oh yes, He can
He's able, oh yes, He is
Oh yes, He is (6 ggr)
He's able

Meaning & Inspiration
He Is Able offers encouragement through a simple confession of divine ability. The refrain answers uncertainty with confidence that God can act and can sustain a person through difficulty. Its verses speak to a brother and sister who are waiting for change, urging continued belief, strength, and perseverance while their work remains unfinished. Joy in the morning supplies an image of hope after distress rather than a denial that distress exists.
The song draws its force from repetition. Each return to the words about divine ability reinforces trust when circumstances have not yet changed. That emphasis closely fits biblical passages that describe God as able to work beyond human capacity and call believers not to grow weary in doing good. The lyric also joins expectation with endurance: confidence in help does not remove the need to hold on. In that way, the song serves as both testimony and exhortation, directing attention toward the faithfulness and sufficiency of God.
